Hmmm. PV is better - more cosmopolitan. An AMAZING number of great restaurants serving up international cuisine. Come down with Bucko and the boys and I'll show you around.

It's an idea for you to...

'No' is better than 'low' when it comes to tax rates.

I seen some woman preaching the same thing on TV a couple weeks ago. I was all excited at first. She said taxes were "voluntary".
She was right on one thing. They are voluntary. You can voluntarily pay them. If you choose not to then they will come get the money themselves.
Anyways she ended up getting busted for tax evasion like a few others that preach that taxes are "voluntary" and not mandatory.
Thanks for sharing tho

Chad, I'm not American either, so my experience may not be that useful to you, but I haven't paid a penny in income tax to the UK govt for the past 7 years.
I spent 2 years working in the Bahamas. There is no income tax, true - but there is a (5%?) National Insurance levy. Plus, you need your own health insurance. Be warned, the health service in the Bahamas combines the worst aspects of both the British and US systems tgether.
All countries have to raise revenue somehow. The Commonwealth of the Bahamas is no exception. In their case, it is mainly through charging duty of up to 50% on items imported into the country. So, shopping at the local supermarket can be a bit of an eye-opener.
Also, you can't just go and decide that you would like to work and live there. It is sometimes possible for workers in certain specialist fields to get a work permit - provided there is no-one suitably qualified and experienced amongst the local population who can do the job. It is also possible to invest a significantly large amount into a business there and thereby gain residence.
I currently spend most of the year living and working in Kuwait. At the moment, there are no income taxes levied on expatriates, the cost of living is also fairly low.
However, again, you cannot just turn up. Expatriate workers must be sponsored in by a local employer.
So, yes, for some of us, it is possible to avoid paying income tax. But, as Gail has so eloquently pointed out, there are other more important questions you also need to ask if you want to avoid your tax burden by moving aboad.

Chad, there's more to life than paying less money to the government. There's people. There are lives to be met; each one filled with tragedy and triumph. If I were making what you are in domains I'd move to London. Pay the high taxes, but be part of a community where everyone cares about each other.
Cheers

"America" encompasses a whole shit-load of countries.
Can you be a little more accurate?
>I am sure everyone says that about their country
Nope. Most people haven't had the notion that their country is the "greatest" shoved down their throats by government and media for their entire lives.
The problem is, many of you start believing it without question. Which is why your goverment is finding it so easy to do what it's doing right now.

Absolutely correct. If your only measuring stick is money, then the US is pretty darn good if you don't mind submitting to the "in every aspect of your life" government.
But if freedom is your thing.... it's not the place to be.
